Learning Play Video Poker

The round is now finished, with the Video Poker machine analyzing the hand to see if it is the same as any of the winning hands printed on the payout schedule.

It is obvious that the payout schedule can range from game to game, so that experienced players are agile enough to select the most money-making game each and every instance.
Once the initial round has played out, the player can either choose to continue on and try to to increase their earnings, or press the ‘collect’ button to retrieve any money that might have been won. Further, several versions of the game allow the enthusiast an opportunity to double their profits, in which situation a further game is played. There are also variations between individual machines, with some decks of cards including wild cards and other differing elements to increase playability.
